		<description>This won't be the last spurious action before the US Courts.
The "Litigation happy" USA will see to that.*
Which will, in time, kill the "Social Networking" aspects of Web 2.0

* The daytime TV in the USA has how many "Court" shows? where people are suing for damages? ( after the production company makes sure it isn't completely spurious )
SCO started the ball rolling with their lawsuit activities, we all know how foolish SCO is, why would we expect any single person to be any smarter?</description>

		<description>I pray that Crook gets what he deserves.  Every vet who put his or her life on the line fo this country and for Crook's freedoms, in my opinion, has the right to smack him in his fucking face.  In my opinion, every person that lost loved ones in the holocaust has the right to spit in his ugly face.   He should be in a mental hospital.  Where is a crazy, heavily armed, vietnam vet when you really need one?  I hope that one day I get the chance to take a piss on his grave.</description>

		<description>I first learned of the guy while serving on a carrier in the gulf around the time of his FOX appearance.  The guy is just scamming for money.  What was really annoying is that he took money from vets to buy his forsakethetroops site and he just proceeded to turn around and make another site.  I have no problem with people with unpopular views, hell I spent 2 years in a war I didn't support, but what is so irritating about the guy is he's like a 5 year old screaming swear words in a church.  He doesn't frame his opinions in any meaningful fashion.  Really pathetic are his youtube videos that end with him begging people to go to his site yet he silents the opinions on his site so people immediately stop going there.  If he''s going to say crap to piss people off and generate buzz about his sites, he should allow people to vent.  He doesn't seem to understand how to really run a site pass fluff.  He's a sad guy that would never generate a story except for the internet and Fox News.</description>

		<description>So Michael Crook (what an appropriate last name) gets pwned by everyone* else on the internt.  Have to admit that originally had only followed the story as an offshoot to the Jason Fortuny (there's another androgynous asshole) CL scam but have to admit that the Michael Crook/10 Zen Monkeys saga is far more ammusing and thrilled that Jeff took this pantie waste of a human to task.  More thrilled with the outcome!

*poetic license, I'm sure there are some other wankers out there who are part of Crook's fan club</description>

		<description>I am wondering..when someone does send a DMCA notice, doesn't the person have to be real and prove proper ID on who he/she is, if questioned?

It has been brought to my attention that just last January, someone recieved a DMCA notice on a personal photo of Crook.Further viewing said DMCA notice the email is to a gmail account that Crook has used for himself and as other names claiming to know him, yet the signature was signed Scott Delaney.

BTW-The link that goes to said photo is to the one nekked photo Crook sent out in the past to Flawfan using his old eastcoastdude2004 yahoo account. That same photo crook swore up and down was a fake. So the question is, if that photo is a fake and it IS NOT Crooks property,why was Crook sending out DMCA notices on it?!

Another past one that was sent out, the name was Kayla, claining to be Crooks wife (which was a lie).Wouldn't this fall under false statements even though it is Crook himself sending them out? 

Maybe we should start a list on the names he has used on the DMCA sends so others will know if it is legit or not.</description>
